Goapele (singer)
I really tried to like this singer. She’s absolutely beautiful. A café au lait woman with and interesting eclectic style. She’s been around for awhile on the Neo-Soul scene, and I have yet to connect with her music. Her voice is buttery …

Album : Cirith Ungol - One Foot In Hell

Lately, i heard for the first …
Naturally Music Video by Selena Gomez
I really dislike it when Disney stars think that they can become triple threats just because they were given a contract by Disney to act. It is so embarrassing to see stars put out albums that do not sell many copies at all just because it seems to be …
Josh Groban You Raise Me Up Single
Of all the current young male singers, Josh Groban is the one that I admire the most. He has an impressive career, which I can only suppose was not easy. The lights apparently started shining on him when music producer David Foster first noticed his unique gift, …
Not Just You (Single)- Cody Simpson
This song just came out as a single on itunes and it is currently free! When I saw this I freaked out, this has always been one of my favorite songs of Cody’s. I never actually heard it as a studio version before this song. I have only heard …

David Guetta (Musician)
The musician David Guetta is one of my favourite EDM Disc Jockeys. Even though he’s been around from the early 2000s, I only took notice of him when I really got into Electronic Dance Music in 2010 or 2011. He’s become one of my favourites because I find his mixes …
CD Hoobastank
Hoobastank’s first album is simply called Hoobastank. It is all upbeat rock music, with clear vocals, not yelling. The lyrics are completely clean. I like that it is just a rock band most of the time, not a synthesized orchestra (although this does happen in a …

The famous East African, Kenyan born boy band, Sauti Sol are at it again with their new track ‘Melanin’ featuring Patoranking. The song, released only this week, caused a lot of frenzy on social media as it led to sweet and sour opinions about the music video.

The Flaming Lips - Watching The Planets (Song)
Watching The Planets is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Embryonic. The track opens up with a fairly confusing tone comprised of an odd mix of instrumentation including keyboards, synthesizers, and drums.

When it Rain - Paramore
When your home or surround is rain, try to listen this song? Why? because the tittle? Maybe, but the music is match with the situation of rain, because it little bit melodize but still feel emo.
In this song, Hayley sing very well, because I think it’s pretty difficult in …
Loving the Boyz II Men
I rarely appreciate R & B music and thinks these songs are just plain addition to the music genre but does not have “sense” to begin with. I guess I was proved wrong when Boyz II Men have emerged from the scene and made it well in the charts, …
Metallica - The Unforgiven (Song)
The Unforgiven would be the one song on The Black Album which I would define as being extremely musically mature and once again shows an excellent example of Metallica continuing to progress as excellent songwriters. The lyrics to this song deal with this person cutting himself off from society …
Neutral Milk Hotel - The King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 (Song)

World Of Pain is a song by Cream which appears on their record Disraeli Gears. The track opens up with the vocals taking center stage immediately, though the rest of the band can also be heard behind these vocals as well. Though I personally thought this opening first verse …
“Freaks, Faggots, Drunks, And Junkies” by GG Allin (LP, 1988)
By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …

Music fans were excited when they heard Queens of the Stone Age’s lead guitarist and vocalist Josh Homme would be joining forces with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters (and formerly Nirvana) and former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones to form a super group known as Them Crooked …
Hey Young World by Slick Rick
Decades after this song was made, it still sticks in my head. Perhaps I am just a nostalgic fiend for old school rap songs. But I suspect that the millions of Slick Rick fans feel the same way about this song. The song “Hey Young …

Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Pavement’s “Slanted and Enchanted” is one of the quintessential indie-rock albums of the 1990s. There is a certain rawness to the whole affair — dissonance, and fuzzy production values give this album a homemade feel. The lyrics have a distinctly post-modern, sometimes dark tone to them, while others …
Polaris - Ivy Boy (Song)
Ivy Boy is a song off of the album “Music of The Adventures of Pete and Pete”. Polaris was a side project involving members from the band Miracle Legion, writing songs for the hit show at the time “The Adventures of Pete and Pete”. Among these songs I find …

Ransom “Pain & Glory (Co-Starring DJ Clue & Big Mike)” is a real good mixtape. Cosigned by both DJ Clue and Big Mike, Ransom is one half of the A-Team and he represents New Jersey. But with the split of Ransom & Hitchcock from A-Team, Ransom doesn’t …
Metallica - My Apocalypse (Song)
My Apocalypse, the final song on Death Magnetic, should certainly remind listeners of Metallica used to close their records with songs like Damage, Inc. and Dyers Eve, or at least that’s what this song certainly does for me. For those of you who have heard the two aforementioned songs …
I’ve Seen It All by Bjork and Thom Yorke
‘I’ve Seen It All’ is a song interpreted by Bjork in duet with Thom Yorke and is part of the musical ‘Dancer in the Dark’, directed by Lars von Trier. I must admit I liked the whole movie but the song has touched my heart more than anything …

Portugal. The Man: American Ghetto band
Portugal. The Man has been a favorite of mine ever since Waitor: You Vultures, and I consider them one of the most fluid bands around. By fluid, I mean they change a hell of a lot from album to album. American Ghetto is definitely no exception. It starts off …

Album : Bonfire - Branded (2011)
I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with German hard rock band Bonfire. Some of their albums i really, really like and others don’t do much for me at all. For me, their whole output between about 1995 and 2007 was all pretty ordinary and most …
Nine Inch Nails - The Great Destroyer (Song)
The Great Destroyer is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album Year Zero. The song starts out with a synthesizer and an electric drumkid which gives the song a pretty artificial sound to be hoenst, and not exactly in a good way. Reznor comes in …
